Shift Dress

The spring is almost there. Apart from the bright sun and trees in bloom, it brings along the need to strip away the layers of the heavy winter clothing and to jump into something light. Personally, I prefer to follow the change of season with the change of my clothing colors. It’s not the light reflection/ light absorbtion thingy but my deliberate act of season distinction: It’s spring! – I put on fair colors to celebrate it. Here comes my first spring tribute: a cream-colored shift dress.

This Chanel fabric has a very interesting structure: several types of bouclè threads are woven between two nets.

Being very intricate, this fabric was not easy to work with. I had to cut it with the overlock, in order to immediately seal the nets.

I haven’t had the oppurtunity to wear it yet. But I am SO looking forward to it!
